Vancouver Blooms · from South Africa
Flowers for Vancouver, ordered from South Africa
Distance doesn't come into it: your order from South Africa is arranged in Vancouver and delivered in British Columbia by our team — today in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, by courier further afield. Paid in CAD; the recipient sees no bill, no customs, no import fee.
Buying from South Africa, delivering in British Columbia
Nothing about a South Africa order is unusual to us; the only slip we ever see is the buyer's details typed where the recipient's belong:
- Who pays — your own name as printed on the card, plus your street address, suburb, city and postal code, in the billing section; put your postal code there too.
- Who receives — their full name, Canadian street address, city, BC, Canadian postal code (V6B 1A1 style) and their telephone number in the delivery section, because that's who the driver calls.
- Who it's from — the greeting card says, in your words; nothing on the packing slip mentions a price.
Canadian dollars, South African card
The price tagEvery price is CAD. The switcher covers USD, GBP, EUR, AUD and JPY only, not South African rand; treat the CAD number as the real one.
What you payA CAD amount — the gift, Canadian sales tax and delivery to that address, all displayed before payment. Your card issuer turns it into South African rand at the issuer's rate, possibly plus a fee; the store has no part in that conversion.
Card typesVisa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB (the store's listed marks, 2026-09-17). A South Africa card is accepted; give the billing address your bank holds.
What doesn't applyDuty, customs, import charges: none of them, as the gift stays inside Canada from studio to door. The recipient pays nothing at all.
How soon can it get there?
Enter the recipient's Canadian postal code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses: same-day or courier, and the days.
Same-day across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland when ordered by 11:00 a.m. Pacific (free on orders over $100; otherwise $15.99–$19.99). Elsewhere in BC: courier from Vancouver, one to two business days (longer for remote areas), order by 2 p.m. Pacific; shipping shown at checkout.
When to order, on your own clock
Vancouver works on Pacific Time. An order in by 11:00 a.m. Pacific is hand-delivered the same day anywhere in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, seven days a week — businesses no later than 5 p.m., homes no later than 9 p.m. For everywhere else in BC, courier orders placed by 2 p.m. Pacific on a weekday ship that day and arrive within one to two business days (longer for remote areas). In South Africa's own time on September 17, 2026:
| Time zone | Same-day cut-off (11:00 a.m. PT) | Courier cut-off (2:00 p.m. PT, Mon–Fri) |
|---|---|---|
| South Africa (Africa/Johannesburg, SAST) | 8:00 p.m. | 11:00 p.m. |
Note the table is for the date above (daylight saving on either side moves things by an hour); the live line above it is today's. Checkout wants the recipient's date, Pacific time: if Vancouver is already past 11 a.m., same-day means tomorrow there. Days off: Sep 30, Oct 12, Nov 11, Dec 25, Dec 26, Jan 1.

Writing the card and the address from South Africa
Although English, Afrikaans and Zulu are what people speak in South Africa, the store operates in English from checkout to delivery label.
- Message. Type it in whatever language you like, provided it's in Latin letters — what you type is what prints.
- The payer's details. Latin letters, exactly as the card issuer has them.
- Where it's going. The recipient's name and Canadian address in Latin letters; the delivery label is English and a name in another script won't be recognised at the door.
- Telephones. Give the recipient's Canadian number with its area code in the delivery fields; yours can include the South Africa dialling code.

Once it's ordered
Where is it?
Use Order Tracking with the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order. Brand-new orders sometimes lag by a few minutes — if yours doesn't appear, support can find it by the order number in your confirmation email.
Help, in your hours
Support is on [email protected] and +1 (604) 636-0970, 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time — longer around Valentine's and Mother's Day — the store's stated hours (read 2026-09-17). What that is where you are, on September 17, 2026:
- South Africa (SAST): 6:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m. the next day
If there's a bottle in it
Recipients aged 19+ (BC's legal drinking age) can receive wine, champagne, beer or spirits with their flowers anywhere in the province. Photo ID is checked on handover; alcohol is never left at the door.
Ordering from South Africa: what people ask
Will a South Africa bank card work?
It will. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB are all taken with a South African billing address; you're charged in CAD and your bank does the conversion.
Will the recipient be asked to pay customs or delivery?
Nothing — no customs, no duty, no import fee, because the gift never leaves Canada. Delivery is free over $100 in the same-day zone, and any courier charge is shown to you, the buyer, at checkout.
How early must I order for delivery today?
Before 11:00 a.m. Pacific (converted for South Africa in the table above) if the address is in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland. For the rest of BC the courier cut-off is 2 p.m. Pacific, then one to two business days (longer for remote areas).
Will my message in English print correctly?
In Latin letters, yes — verbatim. Use Latin letters for the names and address too.
Can I see the price in South African rand?
Only as an estimate from the store's currency menu. The real amount is the CAD total at checkout — gift, tax and delivery — and your bank converts it to ZAR at its rate.
